bayareateg··on Jobs and Software Is Fucked
The blog lacks crucial info. What type of projects have you worked on? What work are you applying for? Personally, "small contractor" and Blizzard does not translate well to the typical "enterprise web dev" role.

bayareateg··on I wish I didn't miss the '90s-00s internet
One thing that's happening currently that has been alluded to by other people in the comments is the rapid disappearance of forums.

Instead of finding a forum dedicated to something you're interested in and getting access to a ton of structured, easily searchable information that has built up over time, things have moved to discord.

Discord's primary advantage is real-time communication, which comes at the cost of structured, long-term, and (generally) on topic knowledge. This is not a good trade off, imo. Discord is also a social media platform, which in itself comes with issues common with modern platforms.

Drugs to treat ADHD and other behavioral/emotional problems have become much more common
